Problem is it's not spiral bound and therefore difficult to scan w/o causing some level of destruction, otherwise I would have uploaded it already as I did with my french 20S manual. Maybe some other user is brave enough or don't care about its condition.

Public libraries sometimes have copiers, possibly scanners which allow processing of half-opened books.

I could start looking...?

I think you have to because HP abandoned spiral bound manuals at that time and turned to what our euphemistic US-American friends call "perfect binding" (since it is perfectly far less practical than spiral binding, you know). O tempora ... !

I usually just take the bound manual to Staples and for a few dollars they will slice the binding off and punch and spiral bind it. Once spiral bound, it's easy to remove the spiral, scan it and then put the spiral back on. You end up with a nice scanned copy and a spiral manual.

Anyway, before this gets more offtopic and leads to another legal discussion: I understood this thread as a request to scan this particular manual for inclusion into the museum DVD. If anyone has doubts, he or she may check the list of contributors and see if my previous scan shows up anywhere else. If another accusation must be uttered, a more moderate tone would be greatly appreciated.

A non-member has hijacked this thread, can we please get back to the original subject.

Thomas, thanks for the offer, and I join those who hope you are well soon.

As Thomas said, while anyone can scan a copy of a HP manual, only Dave has permission from HP to make these available to everyone on the Museum DVD, and I believe he also has superior scanning machines and can be trusted to maintain the integrity of the original manual, that's why I suggested sending the German 32sii manual to him.

As others have stated before, the Museum DVD is worth its weight in gold.
